RETURN TO SPORTS Featured Service
Have you sustained a recent injury in your sport, such as an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear? Have you undergone rehabilitation treatments for your sports injury? Do you feel ready to get back into the game? If you’ve answered yes to all these questions, you may be ready for a “Return to Play Assessment.” These assessments will evaluate your physical performance and function to determine if you are ready to return to your activity or sport. Also referred to as “Movement Assessments,” Return to Play Assessments evaluate the symmetry, power, strength, balance, and readiness of the affected body part in relation to returning to the desired sport. Return to Play Assessments have proven successful in determining patients’ preparedness for returning to the demands of certain physical activities. A study by the National Institutes of Health states that 23.5% of participating patients sustained a second ACL injury just 12 months after their ACL reconstruction, while 37.5% sustained a non-contact tear just 24 months after their ACL reconstruction. These statistics demonstrate why these assessments are so important – far too many athletes return to the demands of their sports before they are ready! Contact us (Jagare Ridge: 780-288-4842, Brintnell 780- 757-0206) to schedule a Return to Play assessment. We are dedicated to helping athletes regain their function and get back to doing the activities they love!
